That is a very good explanation of SWR for a number of reasons. It gives a history of it and shows where a slight misinterpretation/misunderstanding of it has given it's the 'importance' is has today. While SWR is important it is only one of the important things about a good antenna system, not really the most important thing.
Antennas and how they are fed is not a simple thing at all, and requires knowledge to understand. Getting that knowledge is also not a simple thing because there's too much misinformation also available. If it ain't one thing it's another, ain't it??
